was to my liking...maybe place the steering wheel
in the center, move the cabin door to the left. Oh
yea & I'll supply my own power. If they will do that

Yea, go ahead and name me any boat manufacturere that will let you move bulk heads or steps...That's a safety issue and I would venture to say there's no builder in the world that would take the liability.

In the marine industry "custom built" has become synonymous with "non-production built"...i.e. less models a year, more attention to detail and better quality rigging, layup, etc. Yes, you can play semantics with the saying "custom built" and compare it to a custom built car (which there is no comparison) but I think for most it's common knowledge the difference between a production boat and a hand built (custom) boat is quit obvious. However, back on the topic of this thread...I still believe Baja is a great boat.

There are a lot of Baja bashers. As a former DONZI owner I loved that boat and had a great time on the water. As a Baja owner now.. I love my boat and have a great time on the water. I went with cabin room with AC and the comforts of home. I still make poker runs and run with the best of them..maybe not as fast...but love watching them pass me

Baja ownership is a lot like Harley Davidson ownership - you've got an army of EXTREMELY loyal & proud buyers. A lot of them could afford to buy other boats but don't - they stick to Baja because they've had great experiences with the brand and with the commeraderie that goes along with the brand.

In the HD world, you see a lot of the same bikes on the road, but the individual owners customize their own bikes to make them stand out. On a nice day, any HD owner will probably see 10 identical bikes to theirs on the road, but that doesn't make them any less proud than if they had bought a one-off custom bike.

Actually if he is speaking about Fountain, they are all custom especially the "Steps", just ask the trailer Mfgrs, NONE of them line up twice in a row...
